About Martin
Martin Conway is a person-centred counsellor who takes a calm, practical approach to therapy. He uses a humanistic, integrative style that aims to make conversations straightforward and useful for everyday life. Martin often helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress and addiction concerns.
He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Emotionally-focused work helps when feelings are overwhelming or hard to name. Psychodynamic thinking is used to notice repeating life themes that cause pain.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Martin offers both short-term focused work and longer-term exploration, responding to immediate problems and deeper issues as they arise. He aims to be warm and steady in session while also offering clear, direct observations when helpful.
Martin has five years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is listed as BACP. He is comfortable working online and has supported many people remotely. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients.
Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled through the platform process. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are booked according to the therapist's availability.

How attachment and emotionally-focused work translate online
Martin uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current behaviour and emotional responses. This approach helps when people notice repeating patterns in relationships or struggle with trust and closeness. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used to help people name and sit with strong feelings, and to find new ways of responding when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, then agree on a mix of methods. That collaborative decision can change as therapy progresses if different needs emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, reflective exercises or people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
